That's the one, I just love the buffet there. It's actually vegan, and something about only using yin (or yang?) ingredients (namely no garlic). Whatever it is, the food is amazing. I think I might have to hit it up tomorrow!Where is Lotus Pond.. is that the veggie restaurant on Johnson?

Chief Battersill was there for lunch too, but had to book out pretty quick when that armed robber situation went down about that time.

So for $5 you can:
Have a couple of pork buns and a honey bun and get change at Victoria BBQ Bakery in Chinatown. It is on Government Street.
get a ham and cheese croissant at the Little Piggy bakery on Fort.
Get dolmades and other middle eastern delights at Middle Eastern Grocery/Deli on Pandora across from Our Place. For 8 dollars you can have a feast.
Get 4 slices of buck a slice or one slice of good pizza at Brickyard.
I am excited to hear what others have to say!!!

"Pasta of the day" at the Italian place between Fort and View on Blanshard (it might be over $5 with tax, can't remember). You can pick up one of their great sandwiches for under $5, though.
Italian Food Imports. To be honest I always walk past that place because of the line up:)

Right, it can get busy, but I find that the line moves fairly quickly. The only problem is seating if you want to stick around.

Around $5 gets some good Mexican at the place on the North east corner of Broughton and Douglas (not as good as the place in St. Andrews though, but the line is better)
One of my favorites is a big rice with sesamie sauce to go from Japanese village ($2.50)
$7 will get you the best grilled cheese sandwhich and onion rings I think I have ever had at the place on the north west corner of Broughton and Blanschard (I know, it's 2 bucks over topic, but it's so good I had to plug it).
Soup Etc usually have about 8 different soups on the go at any given time, all of which are yummy and under $5.
I know there's more, but typing this is making me hungry. Need to go scavenge some chow...
